I) Introduction
Hello! i am marblea(or marb) i have played WW since 5.0 and noticed there was not a guide for the spec so i am deciding to make one! i hope you learn something from it!
II) Races
only going to mention races i feel are worth looking into for WW
Horde:
Blood Elf: In my opinion the best race for horde. The single chi gain from Arcane Torrent - Spell - World of Warcraft PLUS the 2 second silence allows for some awesome combo's! plus the Arcane Resistance - Spell - World of Warcraft is never a bad thing.
Troll: Berserking - Spell - World of Warcraft would be nice for WW as well however i believe there are stronger racials for WW.
Regeneration - Spell - World of Warcraft is something but probably will never save you. Da Voodoo Shuffle - Spell - World of Warcraft another little bonus!
Orc. I would say Orc is the second best race for a WW at 19. the increase burst damage you could obtain from Blood Fury - Spell - World of Warcraft could help kill hard to kill targets like shamans or EFCs. Hardiness - Spell - World of Warcraft another strong racial
Neutral
Pandaren: A sneaky race due to their incapacitate. Quaking Palm - Spell - World of Warcraft can be used before fisting to bait trinket.. a lot of times people will not look at what the 4 second CC is and just trinket it assuming its fist. Bouncy - Spell - World of Warcraft taking less damage when jumping off ToT is always useful. Not useful in premades however a nice bonus for pugs.
Alliance
Human: Decent choice do to their racial Every Man for Himself - Spell - World of Warcraft, allows the use of 2 AGMs or 2 whatever trinket you'd like without having to sacrifice a pvp trinket. The bonus vers from The Human Spirit - Spell - World of Warcraft is always helpful.
Gnome: My personal preferred race for alliance WW... Escape Artist - Spell - World of Warcraft is amazing on any melee due to how many slows/roots there are at 19.
Arcane Resistance - Spell - World of Warcraft never a bad thing to have.
Engineering Specialization - Spell - World of Warcraft allows the use of instant bombs.
Expansive Mind - Spell - World of Warcraft 5 energy not noticeable but its there
Nimble Fingers - Spell - World of Warcraft another thing you wont notice but its there.
Night Elf: Shadowmeld - Spell - World of Warcraft is an all around amazing racial you can dodge spells weather that be CC or incoming damage...
Quickness - Spell - World of Warcraft
Wisp Spirit - Spell - World of Warcraft
Nature Resistance - Spell - World of Warcraft
Touch of Elune - Spell - World of Warcraft
all helpful in WSG at some point.
IV Talents!
Tiger's Lust - Spell - World of Warcraft pretty simple talent... the utility from this choice is second to none and should always be chosen in any PVP situation.
Momentum - Spell - World of Warcraft gives the overall most movement... i would suggest this talent if you plan on PVEing
Celerity - Spell - World of Warcraft no idea why someone would use this over another talent but its there.
V) Base Abilities!
Jab - Spell - World of Warcraft use for chi generation.
Blackout Kick - Spell - World of Warcraft use as a filler when you dont need to spend chi on something else.
Tiger Palm - Spell - World of Warcraft use this asap every fight and keep the buff up 100% of the time.
Fists of Fury - Spell - World of Warcraft the bread and butter of the WW spec... use for CC or burst.
Roll - Spell - World of Warcraft great for moving around WSG or fights.
Surging Mist - Spell - World of Warcraft pretty good heal for a hybrid class.. heals for 400s.
Provoke - Spell - World of Warcraft use to keep rogues in combat or to gain combat so you dont get sapped.
Resuscitate - Spell - World of Warcraft basic rez that will come in use every now and then.
VI) Professions!
I would recommend using
Engineering - Skill - World of Warcraft
and
Jewelcrafting - Skill - World of Warcraft
VII) Gear!

weapons Brawler's Razor Claws - Item - World of Warcraft (2)
this set prioritizes crit and agi
VIII) Enchants!
you'll want to build fairly tanky because WW monks are so squishy.
neck/rings/back you'll want to run vers enchants
stats on chest
stam on bracers/gloves/legs
minor speed on boots
agi/crit on shoulders
and elemental force on weapons
use the same enchants for both gear sets!
IX) Addons!
addons are extremely prefference however here is a picture of my UI
Imgur
the only addons worth mentioning are BGtargets, interruptbar, and recount
X) Macros!
Basic Focus Macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus] Spellname
#showtooltip provoke
/cast [target=mouseover] provoke
useful for keeping the pesky rogues in combat
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover] tiger's lust
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover] surging mist
XI) WSG strats!
as a WW you'll want to play D or escort your FC... if you're caught in a situation where you need to play mid go for fists on the healers or ranges dps out of position.
if you dont have fist of fury up you wont be super useful in mid so just offheal while you wait for the cooldown.
you're more of a support class than you are a dps just keep that in mind at all times.
XII) Outtroduction
this is the end of this guide! i hope you've learned something about WW! if you need help with anything more specific that i did not cover feel free to send me a PM here on TI.
the WW guide of hopes and dreams.
